what they do apparently is that if you are not home, they speak to your neighbors and ask them about you or they leave.

Glad everything went well. Don't know if I would be as trusting as you. I would have asked for ID's, Took photos with my phone of the ID's and the plate of their vehicle. Then would have been just a little more inquisitive as to why they want to come in. I have no problem showing them around, but 2 guys show up to my house saying their from immigration and want into my house, they will be met with a few questions. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but just bringing a few guys into my house for BBQ and a few beers unless I know you pretty well, not going to happen. Maybe because I live in a big city, or maybe because I have seen the aftermath of people being a little to trusting with strangers that I am a little jaded, but good to know they may be showing up, and everything seems to have went well.

the reason that happened is because after enquiries by my lawyer as to why time was being wasted, the reply we were getting was security check . and i realised our interviewer kept on hounding on why we married quick . so i guessed it was being seen as fraud. i expected either a stokes interview or bed check . wasnt bothered cos if you live with your spouse you have no issues . plus the main people know us in the city we live . the mayor, the police chief, fire marshall . so wasnt really bothered . so i was expecting something . plus i live in a gated apartment where you have to go through security and all you cant just come in and out. also im not the type to be messed with . i can hold my own . but from the way they moved and they acted i had read them and known . 

 

but yh it went well . thanks .

Yesterday afternoon my wife gets a call from someone saying they are from homeland security and are around to see our home. she calls me cos she didnt understand why homeland was around. i was in a meeting and drove home. lucky i was close by. i see them and im like im glad youre here. been waiting to hear from immigration somehow. so if you are here it means youre working on my case. they asked if i wanted to see their badge, i was like i dont care, just come on in. they were like youre a trusting man but still showed their badges.

 

they came in with my wife in the house. she was a bit embarassed cos the house was a bit messy since we rushed to work early that day. i gave them a full tour. they went everywhere, checked everything. i wasnt even bothered cos its a real marriage so enjoy. wats the best way to win your case than for them to come see. we werent questioned like they normally do. it was a convo. like i was with friends. i had soo much fun cos i was glad they were there. we laughed and joked around and after like 15 minutes they said they were leaving . 2 of them dropped their cards and one gave me his personal number and i went back to my meeting.

 

All in all it was pleasant and wonderful from my point of view . lol . 

What visa did y’all adjust from?

Man, if anyone came to us, come right ahead, but if they asked our neighbors... Half would respond honestly and in kind, and the other half would go on a tangent about illegals in the country, damn us all. They don't know I'm not American, and won't find out unless they pry and it's on our terms to tell them. I've heard enough from them about "other folks".
